Lol - that's what happens when posting on a Monday before finishing the morning coffee.

Someone commented on my article then that you can pretty much accomplish this from the command line with:

    > echo "masterpassword gmail" | md5
(Ignoring the implication of the password potentially getting logged in shell history, of course.)


Maybe try just

> md5sum | cut -d" " -f1

or similar. Carriage-return followed by ctrl-D to exit. Output matches echo "whatever" | md5sum | cut -d" " -f1 in my term.
